The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the most pressing issues in cosmology. In the past decades there has been a strong experimental effort
to search for the particle nature of dark matter with no positive results so far. The lack of a discovery has pushed the scientific community to
perform more general studies on dark matter models. The use of an effective field theory, in which all heavy degrees of freedom except for
the dark matter particle are integrated out, covers a large set of dark matter models [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}.
Nonetheless, it has been shown that the effective field theory approach cannot lead to general conclusions, especially for collider studies where the energy scale can be larger than the cut-off scale.
